Star Wars Battlefront 2 problem
OPEN LETTER TO EA: THE DESTRUCTION OF BATTLEFRONT II
To the Development Team at EA,
It is time to wake up before Star Wars fans take up "pitchforks" for good. By abandoning Battlefront II, you haven't just walked away from a game; you’ve armed a social bomb that will explode even louder than the original loot box scandal.
The problems you have created for yourselves:
Veterans are killing the future: Since there is no "gate" (skill-based matchmaking) between beginners and veterans, pros are literally "spawn killing" new players. Beginners cannot evolve, they immediately ask for refunds, and they delete the game in frustration.
Technical Injustice: You expect a beginner playing from mobile or cloud (GeForce NOW) to compete in the same lobby as pro PC veterans. It is impossible to improve when the yellow victory bars can only be earned by keyboard-and-mouse pros.
The "Dead Server" Trap: If beginners leave, veterans will have no one left to play with. Sooner or later, even they will say, "we’re done with this," and the game will finally die.
The Price of "Silent" Development: Giving the game away for free while refusing to fix the core issues only breeds more angry fans. The tense 1v1 duels seen in clips are just the surface; the reality is a slaughter of new players and unplayable servers.
Put a gate in front of the veterans or make a new game, because the fans will not let you destroy their favorite universe like this. Don't wait until everyone deletes the game for sake, because there is no coming back from that!
An Angry Star Wars Fan
